A Russian warship has fired warning shots near a British-flagged yacht in the English Channel, prompting strong condemnation from UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, who described the crew's actions as 'reckless' and deeply concerning amid rising tensions with Moscow.
The frigate Admiral Grigorovich said it opened fire after what it described as a dangerous approach by the private yacht Bright Future, claiming the manoeuvre was intended to prevent a potential collision on Tuesday, 16 June.
